It is a small zoo, but young children enjoy it because they can get close to many of the animals. A delight to adults and children, this place is not only for watching the animals, but is a center for education, preservation and propagation. Endangered species native to Kuwait are bred here.

The education center offers everyone the chance to study first-hand not only exotic animals from around the world, but also species that were native to Kuwait fifty years ago. The research center tries to find the best way to keep imported animals healthy in the Kuwaiti environment.

A train weaves its way among the tree shaded animal compounds. Camel, horse and donkey rides along with magic and electronic games delight the children or maybe you would like to have your picture taken with the resident snakes or crocodiles. It is open every day except Saturdays from 8am to 12 noon and 4pm to 8pm. Located to Omariya; it is on the Airport Road (Route 55) and the 5th Ring Road. Entrance is 500 fils, infants free.
